Cult dad seeking new trial

ATTLEBORO — Jacques Robidoux, the Attleboro religious cult father imprisoned for starving his son to death, is seeking a new trial on the grounds that his original trial lawyer failed to seek an insanity defense.

Robidoux, 32, now says he was brainwashed by the cult, known as “ The Body,” led by his father Roland Robidoux, and was not criminally responsible for his actions.

He is serving a life sentence without parole for starving his almost 1-year-old son, Samuel, to death after following what he believed was an order from God to feed him only breast milk.
